[quote=flyer]Imo, concerning grads going forward–just like everything in life–some people will get what they want out of life–and some won’t. That’s nothing new, and has, and will always be true.
Imo, the problem, from what I’ve seen with my kids’ friends–most kids today are being conditioned to believe that everyone will get everything they want in life–so they have no coping skills if things don’t go as planned, and that is proving to be a real problem for many of them in the real world.
I agree that kids should be encouraged to go for the gold, but, imo, they should also be encouraged to develop skills that enable them cope with reality as well.[/quote]
